GenX Journeys: The Power of Signing Up

This week on GenX Journeys, I’m officially hitting the
pavement—again.


After months of knowing it was coming, I finally pulled the
trigger and signed up for the 50th Marine Corps
Marathon. But here’s the thing: even though I knew I was
going to do it, something shifted the moment I actually signed
up. That one action sparked a wave of motivation, momentum, and
commitment I hadn’t felt in a while.


In this episode, I talk about:




Why physically signing up or speaking your goals out
loud creates a powerful mental shift




How small steps like Day 1 of the Couch to
10K plan can reignite your fire




What it felt like to return to the Boston
Marathon as a spectator for the 4th year in a row




Shoutouts to my amazing friends Kerri Nelson
and Maurice Lowman, who crossed the Boston
finish line this year like absolute champs




And how seeing people of all backgrounds and
abilities out there reminded me what resilience and
reinvention really look like




Whether you’re chasing a marathon, a creative dream, or a
comeback in your life—it all starts with one decision. This
episode is your reminder to stop waiting and start moving.


Listen now and let’s take that first step—together.
